The Israeli Air Force bombed six Iranian military airbases during a wave of strikes in Iran last night, the IDF says.
Some of the airports were previously targeted by the IAF amid the war.
As part of the strikes, the military says it destroyed numerous aircraft, including attack helicopters and planes used by the IRGC’s Quds Force.
“Additionally, runways and defense and detection systems designed to operate against Israeli Air Force aircraft in Iranian airspace were targeted,” the IDF says.
The military says the airports were used by Iran to “arm and fund terror proxies across the Middle East,” including Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis.
